Can't make Microsoft Networking work....I use a dial-up connection to the Internet on the Dell with Internet Connection Sharing (that all works: I can connect to the Internet through the wireless network). I also have a Toshiba Laptop with Windows XP Pro (belongs to a Domain at work) with the D-Link DWL-G650 wireless notebook adapter. AND I have a Micron Windows 98 machine wired to the DI-624 (it can connect to the Internet as well). I used the Network Connection Wizard and setup the network on the Micron with the floppy it created. What I can't seem to get working is Microsoft Networking: I can't see the laptop from either the Dell or the Micron or the Dell from the laptop or the Micron. I can see the Micron from the Dell, though. Ideas? Help? FAQs? Pointers? Lost Cause? I tried changing the laptop from belonging to a Domain to belonging to a WorkGroup, but that did not work AND I was no longer my domain identity (for the MyDocuments, MyEtc. folders).

the DI-624 and use only the wireless router, or reconfigure the wireless router to function as a Wireless Access Point.

"Internet Worm Protection" included in some antivirus software like Norton 2005/06 is a firewall and counts. If you are running third-party firewalls, be sure to disable the XPSP2 Windows Firewall and configure the third-party firewall to allow the lan traffic as trusted. Here is a network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna. Take the time to go through it carefully and it will usually pinpoint the problem area(s). http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm Malke
